Kijiji is where we originially got Tut from and that was a great buy. Since then we have had a few good and a few bad. We have bought upgrade filters online and they were all good but the Rena eventually shot. So we found a 100 gallon tank on Kijiji with a turtle dock, gravel, a filter, fish ornaments and huge lava rocks.A gorgeous all black stand the exact length of the tank as well. We thought it was a great deal, oh and they delivered.
The filter was a Fluval 4Plus, recommended for 50 gallons usually, which is what we were upgrading Tut from. So we have been doing frequent water changes and filter rinses since then (a month and two weeks ago)
there was no top for the tank, gravel was used in it so it needed a heck of a rinse.
But then we bought the most recent filter, the Eheim 2217 on Kijiji, the guy delivered it, set it up for us, showed us there is absolutely no leaks, all part it came with except suction cups, and only for 150. So some are good steals, and some you should just stay aaway from. Hard to tell.
